Terrain Has a Bit of Everything

With around 16 miles of hiking trails and 20 miles of cross country
skiing trails working through its 10,000 acres of remote land. Be careful for it can be easy to get lost in this large parkland.

There
is a variety of year-round activities to enjoy while in this premier
park in northern Michigan. From hiking to cross country skiing in the
winter months to swimming and picnicking on the beautiful shoreline of
Lake Michigan to boating and, of course, fishing in its ponds.

Campsites Are Varied Too!

Both in the Summer and Winter

The park has 250 modern campsites in the summer months either near
the Lake Michigan shoreline or in the wooded areas. They include modern
bathhouses, electric and sanitation stations in the campgrounds. The
bathhouses are not open from November through March. The campgrounds are
open from April 1 to December 1.

Cabins are available too - six rustic cabins and three rustic bunkhouses.

What's fantastic is winter camping is available.
It's fun to reserve one of the rustic cabins near New Year's Eve. To be
camping in the winter wonderland of northern Michigan is a terrific way
to start a new year. None of the roads are plowed so be ready to lug
all your gear to the cabins. But there is plenty of cut firewood at each
cabin throughout the year!
